Summary

This invaluable manual from world-renowned expert Johnny Salda�a illuminates the process of qualitative coding and provides clear， insightful guidance for qualitative researchers at all levels。 The fourth edition includes a range of updates that build upon the huge success of the previous editions:

A structural reformat has increased accesibility; the 3 sections from the previous edition are now spread over 15 chapters for easier sectional reference There are two new first cycle coding methods join the 33 others in the collection: Metaphor Coding and Themeing the Data: Categorically Includes a brand new companion website with links to SAGE journal articles， sample transcripts， links to CAQDAS sites， student exercises， links to video and digital content Analytic software screenshots and academic references have been updated， alongside several new figures added throughout the manual It remains the only book that looks specifically at coding qualitative data， as a core but often neglected skill that researchers and students alike need to effectively make sense of their data and to identify patterns， before they can analyse the material。 Saldana presents a range of coding options with advantages and disadvantages to help researchers to choose the most appropriate approach for their project， reinforcing their perspective with real world examples， used to show step-by-step processes and to demonstrate important skills

This book gives an excellent overview of coding methods and is a great resource for qualitative researchers。 It is easy to read and clear throughout。 From chapter three on I didn't read the whole chapter， instead picking and choosing certain coding methods to read thoroughly。 This book gives an excellent overview of coding methods and is a great resource for qualitative researchers。 It is easy to read and clear throughout。 From chapter three on I didn't read the whole chapter， instead picking and choosing certain coding methods to read thoroughly。 。。。more

Ah， the joys of being a grad student

Great as both an introduction， and inspiration for different ways to approach qualitative coding

Joli Hamilton ，

Incredibly helpful， I recommend this for anyone doing qualitative research。 Saldana offers far more options than I could use in one project， which I love because I can rule out the types of coding that don't suit me and find ones that are strewn throughout dozens of other texts。 Incredibly helpful， I recommend this for anyone doing qualitative research。 Saldana offers far more options than I could use in one project， which I love because I can rule out the types of coding that don't suit me and find ones that are strewn throughout dozens of other texts。 。。。more

Great handbook for those interested in qualitative research and all that it entails， with a specific focus on coding of various types。

I would say this is required reading for anyone using qualitative research methods

This manual made my life so much easier！ As a graduate student in the midst of their research， I was hesitant to take the time to read through almost 300 pages of coding methods， but I’m so glad I did。 As a novice researcher， having an understanding of many different types of coding methods really gave context to what I was being advised to do， and the included citations for each method gives the reader additional sources to further their understanding of codes。 Definitely a solid groundwork of This manual made my life so much easier！ As a graduate student in the midst of their research， I was hesitant to take the time to read through almost 300 pages of coding methods， but I’m so glad I did。 As a novice researcher， having an understanding of many different types of coding methods really gave context to what I was being advised to do， and the included citations for each method gives the reader additional sources to further their understanding of codes。 Definitely a solid groundwork of the material， and helped me develop my own thoughts and writing。 。。。more

A great text that breaks down coding techniques into manageable chunks of information

Monica Leigh ，

Concise explanations of the 33 coding methods and helpful suggestions for beginning researchers planning to code and analyze data。

Elora Orazio ，

This is a very useful book for qualitative researchers， or for students learning about qualitative research。 Saldaña clearly outlines the philosophies between the different types of coding and the ways to transition between coding stages。 Though I was instructed to read the book from cover to cover， it is a manual and as such would be more useful as a guide to refer to throughout the coding process。 Even Saldaña writes that the book may be used in multiple ways as a tool， and will be less useful This is a very useful book for qualitative researchers， or for students learning about qualitative research。 Saldaña clearly outlines the philosophies between the different types of coding and the ways to transition between coding stages。 Though I was instructed to read the book from cover to cover， it is a manual and as such would be more useful as a guide to refer to throughout the coding process。 Even Saldaña writes that the book may be used in multiple ways as a tool， and will be less useful read consecutively。 。。。more

Well written and easy to understand， with lots of examples and tips for novice researchers。

I perfected my coding knowledge through this book。 Recommended！

Kim Donehower ，

As someone whose field is adjacent to the social sciences but who uses social science methods， this is hands-down the most comprehensive， clear， and helpful book for qualitative coding。 I have recommended it to several graduate students， all of whom have found it invaluable。

Lauren Salisbury ，

Super useful guide to the actual processes of coding and possible approaches to coding data。 I liked the structure of this guide and it actual felt like it was meant to be used as a guide。 I could see myself returning to this book with different projects for help approaching multiple sets of data or ways to employ simultaneous coding。

Bill ，

An outstanding guide that provides an incredibly clear discussion of first- and second-cycle qualitative coding methodology。 I regularly assign and recommend this book to my students， and find that it is a useful reference that I often return to。

What a great introductory text！

This book is more in line with the " methods sourcebook" by the same author。 It catalogs a set of coding profiles for first and second cycle of coding。 While catalog is interesting and useful as a reference， the postscript about how to use the coding profiles and how to manage the coding process in each cycle is most useful。 For me， it kind of reaffirmed the certain beliefs about qualitative research and the involved techniques。 The exposition about the relations between coding profiles is also This book is more in line with the " methods sourcebook" by the same author。 It catalogs a set of coding profiles for first and second cycle of coding。 While catalog is interesting and useful as a reference， the postscript about how to use the coding profiles and how to manage the coding process in each cycle is most useful。 For me， it kind of reaffirmed the certain beliefs about qualitative research and the involved techniques。 The exposition about the relations between coding profiles is also useful but a bit lacking; specifically， more comparative description of profiles would have helped to understand seemingly similar coding profiles， e。g。， holistic coding vs concept coding vs themeing of data。A good reference about coding profiles。 。。。more

Best source for coding options。

Good detailed explanation about teh coding process in qualitative research analysis

Jim ，

Not an easy read but Saldana does and excellent job in discussing First and Second Cycle coding。 Additionally， he provides solid application examples of the different coding methods with extensive examples provided。

Jess C。 ，

Great book on coding。 Presents a complete list of coding methods and when they are most appropriate to use。 Definitely a reference I will be going back to over and over。

Ricki ，

This is an excellent coding manual， and it fills a gap in the literature。 I read it for my qualitative methods course， and I found it to be very helpful and a great resource。

Bahia ，

This book is exactly what is says: a manual。 This is a great book to have on hand for qualitative research。 The first few chapters discuss coding in detail， including what coding is and the purpose of coding and the importance of using analytic memos。 The rest of the book is a bunch of different coding techniques for first cycle and second cycle coding。 Great reference book and very readable。

Lauren Warnecke ，

Unpacks the coding process in a surprisingly easy to read， yet thorough， manner。

This manual is a must-have for anyone new to coding qualitative data。 While the sheer volume of information in here can be overwhelming （the author himself suggests not reading it cover-to-cover， although for the class this was assigned in that's how I had to go about it）， it's a thorough and insightful look at both the benefits and challenges of coding。 As I was working through coding some interviews， it was extremely helpful for me to read the chapter on first-cycle coding， do first-cycle codi This manual is a must-have for anyone new to coding qualitative data。 While the sheer volume of information in here can be overwhelming （the author himself suggests not reading it cover-to-cover， although for the class this was assigned in that's how I had to go about it）， it's a thorough and insightful look at both the benefits and challenges of coding。 As I was working through coding some interviews， it was extremely helpful for me to read the chapter on first-cycle coding， do first-cycle coding on my own work， then read the chapter on second-cycle， code my own second-cycle， etc。 This book will definitely remain on my shelves as a reference volume for the future。 。。。more
